Ingredients

Before we roll up our sleeves and get cooking, here’s what you’ll need to whip up these scrumptious meatballs:

For the Meatballs:

• 1 pound ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork for added flavor)
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

For the Creamy Paleo Gravy:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grab a baking sheet—ready to get your meatballs sizzling!

2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined. A little mixing dance is encouraged here!

3. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1-2 inches in diameter. (Psst… you might want to taste a tiny bit of the raw mix for quality control—totally permissible, right?)

4. Place the meatballs on the baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they’re nicely browned and cooked through.

5. While those little beauties are baking, let’s work on the creamy gravy! Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the coconut flour until it’s well mixed and starts to bubble.

6. Gradually add beef broth, stirring continuously. Say goodbye to lumps—keep that whisk moving! Then, pour in the coconut milk and bring it to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. When your meatballs are done, add them straight to the creamy gravy, making sure they’re well coated. Allow them to simmer together for a few more minutes—this is where the magic happens!

Cooking Tips

• Don’t worry if your sauce looks a little lumpy—it’s all part of the magic! Just keep whisking, and it will smooth out beautifully.
• Feel free to experiment with different herbs if parsley isn’t your jam. Thyme or dill can give an interesting twist.
• Leftovers? Lucky you! They are fantastic the next day. Just store them in an airtight container in the fridge, and they’ll be ready for round two.

FAQs

Can I substitute almond flour?
Absolutely! You can use coconut flour, but you’ll need to adjust the amount as it absorbs more moisture. Start with 1/4 cup and increase if necessary.

How can I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a pan on the stove with a splash of broth to revive that creamy gravy.

Can I make this recipe in advance?
Definitely! You can prepare the meatballs ahead of time and freeze them before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to baking if cooking from frozen.
